79->[[Creator/BillMaher [Bill] Maher]] also seems to take particular enjoyment in not just insulting comic book fans, but in insulting their emotions and their grief in the aftermath of Creator/StanLee's death. He pretends he's not saying anything bad about Stan Lee himself, but that's a cowardly, dishonest denial. In claiming the material fans love is not real art, is silly and childish, and that it has no real value for mature readers, he is denigrating Lee's life's work. He is mocking the entire concept behind Lee's entire purpose in creating a new approach to superhero storytelling in the 1960s to appeal to young adults and parents as well as kids.\
80When, within days of Stan Lee's death, someone insults not only the fans who are praising and grieving the artist, but also the art itself, then they can spare us the transparently craven claim that they meant no ill will or harm to Stan Lee's or his legacy. When you insult his life's work, you insult his legacy. And when you insult his legacy, you insult his life.
